We are using Resend for our new products at GuruHotel (YC19) and the experience is really impressive. It has never been so easy to create email templates. The Resend dashboard is simple and clear, we love it. Best of luck Zeno, keep it up
This is awesome! I have a project that I need to send some emails on so this is perfect
Help me understand the React selling point. Existing email sending software supports text and HTML because that's what email is . No email client out there supports JavaScript, virtual DOMs, event loops, SSR or any such fancy web technology. Instead of hand-crafting an HTML template with etc I'm supposed to use your custom React components ( ...) which you will promptly compile down to the tags I mentioned above. So.…
Sure! Most front-end teams are using React nowadays. What happens when you adopt another email service is that they want you to learn the template language that they use - Handlebars, Mustache, etc. Instead of having to learn how to do things with that language, your front-end team can re-use everything they already know from React land. Imagine being able to import the same button you have on your web app into your…
> Why? When you look at all the biggest competitors like Sendgrid, Mailgun, Postmark, and SparkPost, you'll notice that they were all founded around 2009/2010, and they all have been acquired by now. Because of that, it's common to see them only prioritizing enterprise requirements and optimizing for sales-led growth. So does this mean that Resend won't get acquired?

You get the comfort of using react components instead of fighting with HTML tables to make your emails look nice. I think it's awesome! It's analog to what ink[0] does with CLI outputs. Sure, you could write fancy CLI outputs in bash, but ink takes the pain out of it and makes it easy. [0] https://github.com/vadimdemedes/ink
Deliverability is the #1 problem all developers actually face with this imo. We have perpetual issues with extremely high importance, but extremely low volume transactional email from admin panels alerting various (usually non technical) people to things. For example; an important extremely high value custom order has been requested and requires senior signoff in a platform. As far as I can tell nothing really suits this, it's too low volume (In the the end we tend to use SMS or slack/teams webhooks for this.

"All the big players in the space got acquired or had a big IPO. Instead of supporting them choose our scrappy VC-backed startup so that one day we can get acquired or have a big IPO."
Resend would need to expand beyond their main TAM when they get email right.
I'm wishing them the best.
